Hey ya Frank, Welcome back that is one sweet screen and still in the Mainland of New Zealand, New PC, now must be a must to win a A2A prize to test that new system out.

When you're straight into Nelson and can't find the sunglasses in your Aero Commander 500 because you haven't cleaned up the cockpit since months...

Brilliant view, but I am biased! Tahunanui Beach, north-facing for all day sun, nestled away in Tasman Bay, nice place to visit...

[Sonnyj]

Mt Maunganui/Tauranga harbour, a wee bit of sand by the harbour slipway, the bunkers at the tauranga links golf course - other end of the runway. NZTG. Kingair doing a right orbit on finals. And of course it is a "beech" craft.

[Ian Warren]

Nice one Les , I did enjoy landing into Tauranga at our NZFF meet at the airshow, interesting ride in over the harbour.

[Sonnyj]

Hmm airshow in Tauranga. soon?

[Ian Warren]

That was a quite a few years back, eight maybe, great getting off the Dash 8 and having a Tiger Moth doing aero's above us

Looks to be a great show, unfortunate I won't make it, biggest thing they call it "Strikemasters at Sundown" I was in the cockpit a couple of months back, a great sensation clambering around one

Retro Air New Zealand. Orbx's New Zealand North Island, right next to Auckland actually. Made major color correction because while I took it during the day, REX made it darker than it should've been.


I apologize for the kind of poor ground textures. Trying to see what I can do to make 'em sharper

[Ian Warren]

Honestly Adrian, you could have not chosen a better subject, Brilliant Screen .. as for the sand .. Retro Sand

[Roelio]

EDIT: I wasn't satisfied with my last post, so I updated it to the beaches of Napier

[Ian Warren]

Curse you Sonnyj I just went and purchased 2 tickets to the feb air tattoo ..... now i have to find a cheap way up there and a bed .

[Sonnyj]

Darn shame...can't make it - other stuff goin on. Just over the hill too!

No No - not me - only 66 , I mean just over the Kaimai hills from home.

[Ian Warren]

Bugger Les, always the month they have a 3 point special ! ... almost worth a drive home to make sure puss was OK .. or some other excuse

[Ian Warren]

UMMM Guys and a few Gal's , we have a week to go , A2A Really are the Bee's Knees when it come to Flight Simulation aircraft, I can personally say for the GA peoples out there , I have flown both the Cessna and the Piper real time tho only small hours , more on the Piper, between the the both A2A have really achieved the sensation and you are able to compare the feeling of each type of aircraft, so if that is an example and how I level it out , think what it is to compare a Warbird, OK never flown one but we get the well known 'Dudley Henriques' from the US of A , a warbird and display pilot who flown all sorts, that is as real as you can get ...

The recent Connie release .. You gotta try the B-17 and to finish that off , JanKees has done some extraordinary paints and weathered , So come on looking at the great collection so far, Its only a rag bag collection , in other words, almost one out of three of you will currently score, best Lotto chances yet , the theme is simple , there is plenty of great photo real freeware scenery if you choose to use it .. NO excuses here!

[Splitpin]

I'll ride this one out .... I don't do beaches, and I've had my share of sun and sand ... in fact I hate sand .

But there are some winners in the mix so far , and great prizes.... Thank you, Doug.

[Ian Warren]

... in fact I hate sand .

Me ... Sun Surf and the Beach ... I don't mix that well as Well .. I get a seven year girl kick sand in my face and I have no answer for it , as for the Ocean , give me a 50,000 ton Battleship and I'd be happy ... maybe a 100,000 ton Aircraft Carrier , I'd be like this for the next six months .... So there is no excuse here Marty or I'll send Doug after ya !

[Splitpin]

"or I'll send Doug after ya " doh ... never thought about that .... ok ... I'm working on something

[Ian Warren]

.... ok ... I'm working on something

Be your Worst Nightmare if not .. you have to show what it takes to be a true NZFFer
